Facing the global challenges of climate change and resource scarcity, lifestyle transformation has become central to national policies. This study aims to establish an evaluation framework for assessing lifestyle transformation literacy in Taiwan and to conduct a nationwide survey to understand the current status and development trends among Taiwanese citizens. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates literature review, expert consultation, and large-scale surveys. The evaluation framework covers seven major lifestyle domains: food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, recreation, and consumption, and evaluates them across four dimensions: knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, and actions.
The survey results reveal significant differences in environmental literacy across various lifestyle domains among Taiwanese citizens. In the knowledge dimension, the education and recreation domains scored the highest, while transportation scored the lowest. In the skills dimension, consumption and food scored well, whereas housing and clothing lagged behind. The attitudes and values dimension saw the highest scores in consumption and education, with transportation and clothing showing lower levels of recognition. In the actions dimension, housing and education showed strong performance, while clothing and transportation needed improvement. The study also identified noticeable disparities among different demographic groups, such as younger individuals performing weaker in certain areas and higher-educated groups falling short in some practical aspects.
Based on these findings, the paper proposes a series of policy recommendations encompassing four core strategies: public dialogue, business model innovation, industry transformation, and diversified participation. Recommendations include strengthening the environmental education system, promoting innovative low-carbon business models, developing sustainable tourism and green leisure industries, and establishing cross-regional smart public transportation systems. These recommendations directly align with Taiwan's 2050 Net-Zero Transition "Net-Zero Green Life" Strategic Action Plan, providing empirical support for policy formulation.
The main contributions of this study include the development of Taiwan's first comprehensive lifestyle transformation literacy assessment tool, providing a complete picture of Taiwanese citizens' lifestyle transformation literacy, offering empirical foundations and specific recommendations for policy formulation, and pioneering new directions in lifestyle transformation literacy research. Future research should aim to expand the survey coverage, conduct long-term follow-up studies, enhance cross-departmental collaborative research, and engage in international comparative studies to continually refine the lifestyle transformation literacy assessment system, driving Taiwan towards achieving its 2050 net-zero emission target.
